"ONWARD, OMAHA t"
The banquet this evening at the Auditorium
purports to be an expression of the determina
tion to make 1921 the best, the busiest and the
most progressive year in Omaha's history. It
is expected that this sentiment will be approved
by the diners, who will tax the capacity of the
huge floor, and voice the aspirations of the
community by such methods as are customarily
employed on such occasions. It is well this
should be so. Such ebullitions of civic spirit are
comforting to the optimistic man who likes to
see the city of his choice expand in all directions
along right lines.
Unanimity of desire and purpose being ad
mitted a program is next in order. Certain
definite objects should be set, to the achievement
of which the united effort of the community
should be directed. Pet schemes or cherished
plans of individual or group may suffer in the
selection of the things that are to be done for
the good of all, but this must not be admitted
as an excuse for anybody to lag. It already has
been pointed out that progress and prosperity
to be beneficial must be shared in by everybody,
that plans for the advantage of Omaha must
also be for the benefit of Nebraska, and that as
the interests of the state are increased so are
the interests of every community in the state.
One can not prosper permanently at the expense
of another. Healthy rivalry between towns is a
sign of commendable activity on part of the
citizens, but the state, as containing them all,
comes first. ,
The Bee has presented some very definite ob
jects to the community as desirable and neces
sary for the betterment of conditions of life
here. None of these are visionary, none impos
sible of achievement, and each is of such nature
as will be immediately helpful in a material way.
This program we cheerfully commend to the at
tention of the banqueters tonight, confident that
the endorsement of its contents and the carry
ing out of the plans contemplated will bring
pood to the community. But The Bee is not
so dogmatic that it can not see other means
whereby the city may derive benefit, and it
stands pledged at all times to further any laud
able project having for its end the building up of
the material, moral, spiritual or intellectual of
Nebraska.
We feel assured that the citizens who gather
in response to the invitation of the Chamber of
Commerce will meet tonight full of the "pep,"
the go-get-it spirit that has brought the city so
far along the way to greatness. We trust that
party and faction will be forgotten; that what
ever resolution is taken will get the hearty sup
port of all, for it will be for the good of b11.
Each element of the community's life knows
that symmetrical growth follows only when all
move forward together, and therefore it is vital
that all act together. When this spirit prevails,
"Onward, Omaha!" ceases to be a slogan and
becomes a fact.
Three Feet to the Yard.
Little by little the strength of long estab
lished standards is being asserted. Pretensions
that all existing measurements had been or were
to be superseded are proving foundationless,
and accumulated human exprience of all the
ages is having the effect looked for by the wise.
One of the latest of the proposed remedies was
to double the money value of gold, that is to
increase its purchasing power from $20.67 to
$41.34 an ounce. This, it was argued, would
stabilize prices by restoring the parity between
gold aiyd commodities. What would follow
such a course would be to make permanent the
inflated price of those articles that have shot up
so high tinder war pressure, and with the sup
port of an Inflated currency, the basis of which
is individual credit rather than an established
standard. The answer to this proposal is now
apparent. When the bullion value of silver
jumped to $1.37 an ounce, the American silver
dollar became worth intrinsically $1.06, and Mr.
Bryan emitted a chuckle as he said, "I told you
so." Little has been heard from him or other
bimetalists since the turn has been inhe other
direction. On Tuesday of this week the "dollar
of our daddies" had a bullion value of 52f$
cents. In the most orderly and entirely ex
pected manner, the gold standard is asserting its
influence; a real dollar is becoming worth 100
cents, and the yard stick is once more thirty-six
inches, instead of half or less as it has been
under the influence of war time inflation. Stand
ards of measurement are not to be shifted with
each whim or caprice of the public mind.
Sport fon, Sport' Sake.
In New York a considerable agitation is
being endured because of the prospect of cer
tain modifications of the sporting laws during
the coming winter. Changes contemplated look
to the possible repeal of the boxing bills, re
newed prohibition of Sunday base ball, and the
limitation of purses or prizes to be offered and
of profits to be gained by promoters. The sport
ing element insists the move is intended to pun
ish New .York and Brooklyn because of the
vote cast for Smith, democratic candidate for re
election. What really is behind the effort is a
desire to curb the gambling spirit that supports
the huge money rewards offered for sporting
events. A pur.e of half a million dollars to be
divided between two professional bruisers is the
acme, but behind it string out a procession of
"purses" that indicate the enormous profits that
flow from controlled professional "sport."
Scandal has touched on all, for the unscrupu
lous promoters have not spared to gull the pub
lic whenever possible. Therefore, not to check
amusements or sporting events, but to save them
from the extinction that will surely follow if
the crookedness is not subdued, the New York
legislators propose to enact laws that will limit
the amount of profit that may be derived from
any, and thus to encourage the real element of
any form of athletic contest, that of sport for
sport's sake.
Armenia and America.
In his reply to the note from President
Hymans of the League of Nations, suggesting
that he proffer mediation between the Turks
and the Armenians, President Wilson very well
states the attitude of Americans. After setting
out that he can not undertake to employ the
military forces of the country, nor to engage
to expend any money on behalf of the Armen
ians, the president goes on:
I am willing, however, upon assurance of
the moral and diplomatic support of the prin
cipal powers, and in a spirit of sympathetic
response to the request of the council of the
League of Nations, to use my good offices and
to proffer my personal mediation through a
representative whom I may designate, to end
the hostilities now being waged against the
Armenian people, and to bring peace-and ac
cord to the contending parties, relying upon
the council of the League of Nations to sug
gest to me the avenues through which my
proffer should be conveyed, and the parties
to whom it should be addressed.
Americans are, as the president says, solicit
ous for the welfare of the Armenians. Immense
sums of money have been subscribed in this
country for their relief, and assistance has taken
on many forms, but always there lingers in the
public mind the thought that intervention there
means a little more than protection and preser
vation of the persecuted victims of Turkish
rapacity and fanaticism. Confirmation of Greece
in its hold on Thrace and other territory seized
from Turkey, of France in Syria and England
in Mesopotamia might hinge on the presence of
the United States in Armenia. These considera
tions, rather than any inclination to shirk a
duty, supported the action of the senate in its
declining to accept the mandate proffered.
Mediation rests on a different basis, and the
good offices of our president should never be
denied under such circumstances. All parties
may well approve Mr. Wilson's reply to Presi
dent Hymans, and surely will applaud his efforts
to establish peace and restore order in that
strangely afflicted land.

Hope for River Navigation
Uncle Sam wants to find out if it is possible
to run steamboats profitably on the inland
waters of America. When the transportation
problem became acute during the war, several
barge lines were formed by the United States
railway administration to supplement the rail
roads. As a result of this effort, there are now
under the control of the War department two
water systems consisting of barge lines on the
Mississippi and Warrior rivers, and on the New
York barge canal operating between Buffalo and
New York tity,
One of the most interesting parts of the re
port of the secretary of war for the past year
deals with these operations. In continuing this
activity, congress evidently planned to demon
strate the possibility of profitable navigation of
the watdrways which now lie almost unused. In
spite of the millions of dollars that the govern
ment has poured out in channel improvement
work, river boats have continued to disappear
from the field of transportation. Unfair com
petitive rail tariffs along water routes un
doubtedly had something to 'do with this, but
other causes have also been located by the
federal experiment. .
Lack of terminal facilities is found to be a
common fault in all the river towns. The report
states that id, now costs as much to handle
freight from the railroad cars to barges in St.
Louis and out of the barges on freight cars in
New Orleans as it does to transport the freight
from! St. Louis to New Orleans. Federal funds
havej been voted for beginning proper terminals
at St. Louis, Memphis, Vicksburg, New Orleans
and Mobile and these are expected to be com
pleted this summer.
The government' owned docks will be avail
able also for the use of private steamship lines,
and may well be expected to stimulate water
borne commerce. The Mississippi-Warrior serv
ice, operating lines of barges and tow boats be
tween St. Louis and New Orleans and between
Birmingham, Mobile and New Orleans, holds
much of promise for other cities lying on natural
water routes.
WHEN we gave warning that the column
was to be lengthened five agate lines, we re
marked that that would afford room for one
more wheeze not for poems of eight or ten
stanzas. Of late we have been pleasantly
deluged with poetry, and perhaps it would be
well to reprint some verses 'bearing on the
matter.
on the Floor.
Quoth th? Raven, "Nevermore! Throw the stuff
I'pon the floor."
Readers send me every clay
Quips and Jintrles by the score;
Some of which, t grieve to say,
Must be thrown upon the tloor.
Some are clever, some are crude,
Some have been in print before;
Some, alack, are much too good
To be tossed upon the floor.
Space, howiever. has its' bounds.
As IVe mentioned heretofore;
And however sad it sounds,
Something must go on the floor.
, It is not that I regard
Things I write superior:
Many a gem of mine is barred.
And Is flung- upon the floor.
Many a mighty line I trace,
Jany a thought in which I soar;
But there simply isn't space,
So I cast it on the floor.
Do I hear some reader say,
Do I hear some reader roar,
"Why not print my verses, pray?
Pitch your verses on the floor!"
True, I've used up precious space
(And shall need a little more)
To present my simple ease
Why I chuck things on the floor;
But I fear you're unaware
Just how keenly I deplore
The compulsion brought to bear
When I drop stuff on the floor
You don't always know, I fear,
That I read your verses o'er
And, with many a briny tear.
Throw them sadly on the floor.
OLTR favorite morning paper reports that the
Tree studio building, hitherto devoted to artists,
is to be taken over by the Nobles of the Mystic
Shrine, and the artists turned adrift. But after
all, as Mr. Walkley once remarked ironically,

it cannot compare with mystic shrining.

MASSAGE FOR MINERS
Actlnir on the observation that
when men wore severely hurt they
were lnM tip much longer than they
should be, and frequently got well
with stiff joints, a group of mine
owmrs in Great Rrltnin organized a
massage center. The center was es
tablished at a place Around which
4.ri,000 miners were working within a
radius of five miles.
If a man broke his log, for In
stance, he not only was splinted
with th. proper s; lints, but the
neighboring joints were manipulated
and crooked and the neighboring
parts of his leg wero massaged. Thia
work to prevent joints from becom
ing stiff, and to promote healing of
the fracture, was begun sjoii after
the fracture was put up, and it was
kept up until the man was using hl.1
leg as wen as betore me injury.
In the olden times, whenever any
limb wis fractured, it was made ini
movable with splints, and held that
wav until he treatment was finished.
The resiilt sometimes was a stiff
joint, and the rule was that the limb
was swollen, tender, and movement
was not free for a long time
At tin? massage center they made
use of a principle which some one
called "taking the stopper out of the
bottle." They massaged the parts
cn the body side of the injury at a
time when they had to keep away
from th.j Injury itself. For instance,
when there was an injury or a sore
on the lower leg, they began massage
on the thighs. This stirred up the
capillaries and emptied th lymph
in that region, and thereby made It
easier for the inflammatory products
io get out of the injured part. Day
ly day. and inch by inch the treat
ment was carried nearer the injured
part. If the trouble was in the hand
they begah rubbing the upper arm.
Treatment by matsaee was very
successful In healing chronic ulcers.
In one case massaging the leg above
the knes made an oil ulcer of the
ankle start healing at once.
In all injuries fleximr of the joints
in the general area Was done with
regularity and frequency to keep the
ioiut itself from growing fast, and to
keep the nearby tendons gliding In
their sockets. The treatments were
not limited to passive motions. They
used passive molion, electricity, vi
bration and light therapy. In some
eases of rheumatism they ionized
salicylates into the Joint, and In some
cases (if chronic arthritis they
ionized 'odide of potash in bringing
about cutes. They always gave the
persons who came tc thjs center,
bending, exercising and rubbings
rtunts which they were to carry out
at home. ,

of Tho Bee: Have Just read with

However that may be. I am forci
bly reminded of a conversation which
I held a-tth tho head of one of the
large baking concern? soive three
years ago. It was when tho price of
flour was soaring. I had bought a
loaf of bread which was labeled 22
ounces, but which I found weighed
less than 20 ounces. 1 called the
gentleman's attention to the fact by
telephone. He explained the dis
crepancy by saying that flour was
going tip eo fast that they could
hardly tell from one, d.iy to another
how much they couM put into a
loaf. When I suggested that I would
hardly suppose the large bakers
bought in such small quantities he
asked nv if I did not consider them
entitled to the legitimate profit on
their investment in Hour. As they
are still insisting on taking their
profit with a falling merket, !t would
seem that it Is a rule which does not
work both ways. In closing, would
suggest that it is a tiino when home

Who Is at Fault?
' Omaha. Nov. 29. To the Editor
of The Bee: As one of the Common
People who must pay for the money.
bonds and other valuables stolen
lrom a United States mail train re
cently, I. have a fow words that may
be of interest to my follow citistens.
The Common People are wonder
ing who is really at fault for Condi
tions that make it possible for mere
boys to break a pane of glass in the
storage car of the train as it left
the depot after dark, unhaok the
fastenings, slide the door open and
throw out the registered pouches.
Any novice would know the pouches
were registered because they were
dyed in bright colors. The boys
could make no mistake. Besides I
have bsen informed by railroad em
ployes who truck registered mail
trom ona train to another 'hat the
storage car contained only regis
tered mail.
As a traveling mar. X have been at
the Union Paciiic transfer station
many times and watched the loading
of this Burlington train No. 8. The
registered pouches wer? stored In the
first car ahead of the two mall cars
in which the mail clerks ride and
sort mail. They do r.ot stay in the
storage car to guard it. They must
sort mail In the mail cars. As soon
as the train leaves the station they
leave tho storage car and seldom
enter it except on some errand.
There i3 no room in the mail cars
fer so many registered pouches, un
less another mail car Is added to the
train, Dut this would cost more
money than Mr. Burleson is willing
to pay. A special clerk to guard
registered storage would also cost
too much. Therefore, in order to
save money millions of dollars are
stored in a ramshackly wooden
storage car. with ancient fastenings
and no gjard. Is it any wonder they
were stolen?
Do bankers and other corporations
transport their money and valuable, j
securitios without proper safe-'
guards? That is just what is being !
